EventExhibitionInspaceTalkWorkshopCan AI Represent Care? Exhibition, Workshop, and Sharing Event
As our reliance on artificial intelligence grows, we invite you to reflect on what it reveals about our understanding of care and later life. This series of events will explore how AI-generated images can uncover biases and misconceptions about care in our society. What does care mean in our daily lives, and can AI ever “understand” care?
Join us for an eye-opening exhibition featuring images of care created by older adults and generated by AI. Reflect on your own understanding of care and the role of technology in shaping our perceptions of care, ageing, and images. Along with the exhibition, there is the opportunity to join an interactive workshop to create your own images of care using AI, and a sharing event where the powerful stories behind the exhibition will be discussed.
